Single owner since construction. She was at that time a large and modern vessel known for her comparatively good sailing characteristics. She is currently berthed in Palma de Mallorca and is in good condition. In 1997 she was epoxy-treated according to the West method. Everything is on board and she is completely ready to sail. There is a Swedish service technician on site who has been responsible for maintaining the vessel for many years. Owners are looking for a quick sale.
